Look for J l» IwiftRI <•**•) Paul's work in the Aldom AN INTERVIEW WITH PG. 22 StMarysCbU^ Lounge of the Campus LIZ BARBER WALKER, Center during Reunion of Maryland Weekend, June 8-10. PG. to at Historic St. Marys City By Dirk Griffith;79 The College is pleased to announce the Lucy F. Spedden Scholarship, named for the alumna whose gift of nearly a million dollars makes it possible. The gift, established through a bequest, is expected to generate $50,000 a year in new scholarships. Born February 5, 1898 in Fishing Creek, near Cambridge on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Lucy Spedden lived to see her 100th birthday. Better known as "Miss Lucy," she hailed from the Class of 1916. She did not graduate from St. Mary's Female Seminary, leaving school instead to care for an ailing, widowed mother. Diploma or no, she couldn't have been a more loyal alumna. It has been said that Miss Lucy never married because she was manied to St. Mary's. Her personal dedication, leadership, and hard work inspired generations of alumnae. She planned her vacations to coincide with Reunion Weekend and came back to St. Mary's to recruit new members to the fledgling Alumni Association. When alumni records were destroyed in the 1924 Calvert Hall fire, Miss Lucy reconstructed many of them by hand. For many, many years she was an active member of the Washington, D.C. alumni chapter.

  • Equal Pay/Compensation Discrimination the Equal Pay Act Requires That Men and Women in the Same Workplace Be Given Equal Pay for Equal Work
    Equal Pay/Compensation Discrimination The Equal Pay Act requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The jobs need not be identical, but they must be substantially equal. Job content (not job titles) determines whether jobs are substantially equal. All forms of pay are covered by this law, including salary, overtime pay, bonuses, stock options, profit sharing and bonus plans, life insurance, vacation and holiday pay, cleaning or gasoline allowances, hotel accommodations, reimbursement for travel expenses, and benefits. If there is an inequality in wages between men and women, employers may not reduce the wages of either sex to equalize their pay. An individual alleging a violation of the EPA may go directly to court and is not required to file an EEOC charge beforehand. The time limit for filing an EPA charge with the EEOC and the time limit for going to court are the same: within two years of the alleged unlawful compensation practice or, in the case of a willful violation, within three years. The filing of an EEOC charge under the EPA does not extend the time frame for going to court. Equal Pay/Compensation and Sex Discrimination Title VII also makes it illegal to discriminate based on sex in pay and benefits. Therefore, someone who has an Equal Pay Act claim may also have a claim under Title VII. Other Types of Discrimination Title VII, the ADEA, and the ADA prohibit compensation discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. Unlike the EPA, there is no requirement under Title VII, the ADEA, or the ADA that the jobs must be substantially equal.

  • Voices of Feminism Oral History Project: Nussbaum, Karen
    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA KAREN NUSSBAUM interviewed by KATHLEEN BANKS NUTTER December 18–19, 2003 Washington, D.C. This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2004 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Karen Nussbaum was born in Chicago April 25, 1950, the daughter of Annette Brenner Nussbaum, who “did public relations for educational institutions and organizations for the public good for many years,” and Mike (Myron) Nussbaum, an exterminator (1946–70) and actor and director (1967–present). She attended the University Chicago for a year and a half and became involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement. She moved to Boston, working for the antiwar movement there while supporting herself as a clerical worker at Harvard University. She earned a B.A. from Goddard College in 1975. In 1973 Nussbaum and some friends organized 9to5, an organization for women clerical workers, initially in Boston. By 1975, Boston 9to5 had joined other similar groups across the country and they reached out to a mostly unreceptive labor movement. SEIU, however, welcomed them and Local 925 was born. In 1981 the union expanded to a national jurisdiction and became SEIU District 925. Nussbaum was president of the 925 union and executive director of 9to5 until 1993. In 1993 President Bill Clinton appointed her as director of the Women’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor. In 1996 she went to the AFL-CIO to head up the newly created Working Women’s Department, which was phased out in 2001.

  • Everyone Gets Sick. Not Everyone Has Time to Get Better
    Everyone gets sick. Not everyone has time to get better. A Briefing Book on Establishing a Paid Sick Days Standard July 2011 In October, I got very sick with diverticulitis. My doctor put me on bed rest for two weeks. While I was out, my boss hounded me to come back, but I was way too sick. I told him I would be back as soon as I could. I was not receiving sick pay at all. When I did go back to work early, he fired me and told me he needed someone he could count on. I worked for this man for two years. I was shocked. Sometimes things happen and you get sick. How are you to foresee these things? — Heather, Cedar Crest, New Mexico Everyone Gets Sick. Not Everyone Has Time To Get Better. Nearly two in five private sector workers — about 40 million people — don’t have a single paid sick day to recover from common, short-term illnesses. Millions more lack paid sick days to care for a sick child. Workers without paid sick days face an impossible choice when illness strikes. Either they go to work sick or send a sick child to school or daycare; or they stay home, lose pay and risk job loss or workplace discipline. Particularly in this economy, many workers simply can’t afford to jeopardize the economic security of their families by staying home. When workers lack access to paid sick days, contagious illnesses spread through our workplaces and schools. Workers without paid sick days are more likely than workers who have paid sick days to go to work sick with an illness like the flu and to send a sick child to school.

  • Co-Sponsor the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (S
    M , 2017 ay 31 Re: Co-Sponsor the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (S. 1101/H.R. 2417) Dear Member of Congress: As organizations committed to promoting the health and economic security of our nation’s families, we urge you to support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. This bipartisan legislation promotes healthy pregnancies and economic security for pregnant women and their families and strengthens the economy. In the last few decades, there has been a dramatic demographic shift in the workforce. Not only do women now make up almost half of the workforce, but there are more pregnant workers than ever before and they are working later into their pregnancies. The simple reality is that some of these women—especially those in physically demanding jobs—will have a medical need for a temporary job-related accommodation in order to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Yet, too often, instead of providing a pregnant worker with an accommodation, her employer will fire her or push her onto unpaid leave, depriving her of a paycheck and health insurance at a time when she needs them most. American families and the American economy depend on women’s income: we can’t afford to force pregnant women out of work. In 2015, in Young v. United Parcel Service, the Supreme Court held that a failure to make accommodations for pregnant workers with medical needs will sometimes violate the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA). The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act will strengthen the Supreme Court’s decision in Young, by providing employers and pregnant workers with a clear, predictable rule: employers must provide reasonable accommodations for limitations arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless this would pose an undue hardship.

  • AAUW Action Fund Congressional Voting Record 115TH CONGRESS (January 2017-September 2018)
    AAUW Action Fund Congressional Voting Record 115TH CONGRESS (January 2017-September 2018) Dear AAUW Action Fund advocates, oliticians and policy makers routinely make decisions about issues that directly affect Pwomen and families. The 115th Congress saw legislative victories and defeats on issues impacting women and girls, ranging from attacks on Title IX and defunding Planned Parenthood to bipartisan legislation increasing women’s and girls’ access to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). To create real change, women must be part of the conversation, and one of the most powerful places for us to chime in is at the polls. The AAUW Action Fund Congressional Voting Record serves as an accountability tool inside and outside of Washington, D.C. for AAUW members and supporters, providing information about how elected federal legislators vote on critical issues. AAUW and its members and supporters have a long history of lobbying Congress and holding legislators accountable for how they vote on AAUW priorities. We’ve utilized various AAUW and AAUW Action Fund advocacy tools, including the Congressional Voting Record, to remind members of Congress that women are paying attention and will hold candidates’ feet to the fire for their actions—or inactions—on issues important to women and their families. The AAUW Action Fund It’s My Vote: I Will Be Heard campaign harnesses the power of our advocates to increase voter registration and turnout among young women voters, in turn fostering a generation in establishing lifelong voting habits. Using this Congressional Voting Record is a powerful way to ensure that elected officials are held accountable—before and after the election—on critical policy issues for women and families.
